Lanré - High Above

Way back in June of 2012, Vegas emcee LaZie made his grand entrance into the Booth with Rebel, an LP cut which won reader acclaim for its jazzy sound, as well as the artist's unique flow. I'd make a wisecrack about the accuracy of his moniker, given the long lag between features, but he's now going by his birth name, Lanré. In any case, I'm happy to report that High Above is well worth the wait. GW2R's handle production on this dreamy selection, flipping a sample from Australian folk/blues singer Angus Stone's Big Jet Plane as the artist spits about his quest to reach ever-higher plateaus of musical excellence. This record is slated to appear on a forthcoming street album, whose title has yet to be determined. Keep it locked for the latest news and tunes leading up to its digital release in November.
